Rainy summer days don’t need to be spent staring out the window wishing for better weather. Instead, they’re the perfect time to get creative and plan for a time when the sun will come out! There are so many different ways to do this, using the extra time indoors to meal prep for the week, catch up on laundry, clean out that drawer in the kitchen that always seems to be overflowing, but you can never find what you need in there in the moment. One of my favorite rainy day activity treats is to take a trip to my favorite Goodwill store and conduct my own “Price Point Challenge.”

In 2019, people had been reading less – life got too busy, there were distractions brought on by phones and TVs. But the pandemic changed that. In 2020, the average American read 20 minutes a day, an increase of 21% from the previous year, and it brought in the best sales year of the decade for print books. A resurgence of reading is a great thing: reading exercises the brain, improves concentration and healthy sleep, it boosts your library of general knowledge, and it can also be a really affordable type of entertainment. This World Book Day on April 23rd marks a celebration of all things reading and offers an opportunity to tap back into the world of books if you’ve realized it’s been a while since you last enjoyed a good written story.
